Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] photo layer coming off

It does of course depend on the UV source and the photo board but 15s
sounds far too short.

Using laser printed art work on acetate, with my UV box (2 x 8W tubes)
and using pre coated board (usually from Mega Electronics) I need about
3 minutes.

But as folk have suggested try a test strip.
